The wind has considerable effects on the ecosystem and evaporation as an essential parameter of the hydrological cycle. Therefore, determining historical changes in the wind will help to specify these effect levels. Although there are studies on the determination of wind speed trends by several researchers in Turkey, it is necessary to investigate the changes in the trend structure with recent data. For this purpose, the trends of monthly surface wind speed data from 1970 to 2021 belonging to 199 meteorology observation stations in Turkey are determined in the present study. The nonparametric Mann–Kendall test and Sen’s slope method are used in the trend analysis accounting for serial correlation effects. The trend analysis results of wind speed data are evaluated temporally and spatially for seven geographical regions within Turkey. As a result of this study, a prominent part of stations in Turkey shows a decrease or significant decrease trend. In addition, as a result of comparisons made with previous studies, it is determined that the trend structure of the wind speed in the country has changed. In the annual and monthly wind speeds, it is observed that the number of stations has a "significant trend" decreased considerably.

The study explores the seasonal rainfall and rainy days trend in the Himalayan Kingdom of Bhutan. Mann-Kendall and Sen’s slope test was applied to detect the trend and magnitude of the trend for both the rainfall and rainy days. The trends are also analyzed with respect to the elevation of the climatic stations. Further, an attempt has been made to recognize the El-Ni ño-Southern Oscillation (ENSO)-rainfall interaction using station-based rainfall with the ENSO cycle considering the period of 33 years. Cross-correlation of ENSO and rainfall with respect to elevation has also been presented. The trend analysis showed that in the localized regions, both the rainfall and rainy days trend was significantly declining, however, the trend in most of the stations is hardly conspicuous which may be attributed to the influence of the orographic phenomena. From the ENSO-rainfall assessment, it was observed that rainfall in the southern foothills correlates negatively with the ENSO phenomena indicating intense rainfall after 1–2 months of the cooling phase of the Pacifc Ocean. However, such an ENSO effect is not observed in the majority of the meteorological stations which may be attributed to the location of the station in the mountainous region where the topography affects the rainfall variation.

In the present study, trends and variations in climatic variables (i.e. rainfall, wet day frequency, surface temperature, diurnal temperature, cloud cover, and reference and potential evapotranspiration) were analyzed on seasonal (monsoon and non-monsoon) and annual time scales for the Ajmer District of Rajasthan, India. This was done using non-parametric statistical techniques, i.e. the Mann–Kendall (MK) and Modified Mann–Kendall (MMK) tests, over a period of 100 years. The MK test with prewhitening (MK–PW) of climatic series was also applied to climatic variables and the results were compared to those obtained through the MK and MMK tests in order to assess the performance of trend detection methods. The Pettitt–Mann–Whitney (PMW) test was applied to detect the temporal shift in climatic series. The trend analysis revealed that annual and seasonal rainfall did not show any statistically significant trend at a 10% significant level. A noticeable trend increase was found in wet day frequency, surface temperature and reference evapotranspiration (ET) during the non-monsoon season from the three non-parametric statistical tests at a 10% significance level. A statistically significant decrease in maximum temperature was found during the non-monsoon season by the MK–PW test alone. This analysis of several climatic variables at the district scale is helpful for the planning and management of water resources and the development of adaptation strategies in adverse climatic conditions.

W pracy analizowano trendy i zmienność czynników klimatycznych (opad, częstotliwość dni wilgotnych, temperaturę powierzchni ziemi, temperaturę dobową, zachmurzenie oraz ewapotranspirację wskaźnikową i potencjalną) w skali sezonowej i rocznej w dystrykcie Ajmer, w Radżasthanie (Indie). Analizę przeprowadzono za pomocą nieparametrycznych technik statystycznych Manna–Kendalla (MK) i zmodyfikowanej techniki MK (MMK) dla 100-letniego okresu. Test MK z eliminacją korelacji serii klimatycznych (prewhitening – MK–PW) zastosowano także do zmiennych klimatycznych, a wyniki porównano z uzyskanymi z użyciem testów MK i MMK, co pozwoliło na ocenę wiarygodności wykrywania trendu zmian w czasie. W celu wykrycia czasowych przesunięć serii klimatycznych zastosowano test Pettitta–Manna–Whitneya (PMW). Na podstawie analizy trendu stwierdzono, że opady roczne i sezonowe nie wykazywały statystycznie istotnego trendu na poziomie istotności 10%. Wykorzystując trzy testy nieparametryczne, stwierdzono rosnący trend w przypadku częstości występowania wilgotnych dni, temperatury powierzchni i ewapotranspiracji wskaźnikowej w okresie pozamonsunowym na poziomie istotności 10%. Statystycznie istotny spadek maksymalnej temperatury w tym okresie stwierdzono jedynie, gdy stosowano test MK–PW. Przedstawiona analiza kilku zmiennych klimatycznych w skali dystryktu może być pomocna w planowaniu i zarządzaniu zasobami wodnymi i w rozwoju strategii adaptacji do niekorzystnych warunków klimatycznych.
